My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.

They most likely won't allow it. I believe it's due to the fact that people will just install and return the game after they install a copy on their HDD or SD card. Then again, they can just do what MS is doing and make it so that you must have the disc in the tray, but that defeats the purpose of installing a game if you're too lazy to change discs.

Because I'll be a doctor and I'm realistic about how much free time I'll have

I'll still be gaming, I just don't think I'll have time to be as much of an active enthusiast. At the rate I'm going now just being in med school, I finish a game once every 2-3 months or so. It's only going to get worse, especially at the beginning of my career. Did you know just about every time I'm on GAF, I'm only able to browse and post in between lecture slides. I'm studying immunology right now! XD

Not that this is surprising or anything, but the GI cover reveal just about rules out any official Wii U software reveals prior to the E3 press conference on June 5. Oh well, I've waited this long, I can wait another four and a half weeks...

Already got it covered chums, www.threemix.co.uk has been specially prepared for E3, the site has some of the finest servers in the land. If NeoGaf goes own then we can all discuss E3 there, my chum Rikki would give us a royal welcome.

It's surprisingly odd how awkward having the slide pad on the top-left and the bottom-right looks to my eyes, now that I see an implementation of it (also, having the analogs aligned vertically would mean that left-handers could potentially have the option of flipped controls). Either way, it looks a little cramped. Probably, it could stand to have a bigger chassis. Then my hands would not hurt when I play. And it'd have bigger screens. And it'd have a longer battery life.

I would probably buy this, though. I am highly likely to buy my first dual-screened Nintendo system if it had the extra analog directional built in. And then I could buy tons of the best NDS games for cheap to start me off!

On a more related note, does anyone think we'll get some solid cross platform functions outside of Smash Bros?

Well, I was speculating earlier on how they could do something with the 2D Mario games which have been shown off or discussed for both platforms. It was sort of my idea for a workaround for having two similar games on the market at once. (edit: I was beaten on this, this time)

We dont know for sure if this connectivity is anything solid either. Iwata said "the software will work together in some fashion". That could mean anything from transfering characters between the two games to full cross platforming gaming.

Fuck the Wiimote and Nunchuk. If there's one thing I hated about this gen (soon to be last gen) it's all these different peripherals. There's no way I'm buying any wii motes for the WiiU. If i can't play it with what's in the box then i simply won't buy it.

I finally got around to playing through Echoes in February and Sanctuary fortress was amazing. The high tech setting (nice change of pace since the series usually emphasizes organic settings), the scary mechs (Ing Smashers = yikes!) are awesome. Torvus Bog is a fantastic area as well.
